Name: Diedrick Tran . . . Year: 1753 . . . Age: 27 . . . .Place: Pennsylvania . . . "

Of Scottish Descent: 9, 10 Familytreedna.com cheekswab tests bears out the English and Scottish markers as predominant in descendants of Peter Thron AKA Tran b. 1726.

A regional history records a biographical interview with a descendant who states that Peter Tran was of Scottish descent, yet lastly came from Germany to America. Another regional history records a biographical interview with a descendant which states that the immigrant to America came from Germany.

Was an indentured servant in 1768.11

By 1771 was no longer an indentured servant.12

Peter Tran appeared in tax lists in America as "Peter Throne" and "Peter Trone." "Tetrick Trone" is written in later tax lists. Emigrating as a single man, he married in America. His age was listed as 27 yrs. old in the Ship list and he was part of the "Foreigner passengers" on the English ship. His wife apparently died, before him, because in 1774 when he died two guardians for his children were appointed by the York Co. Court. He was listed as "Tetrick Troan" in this document.

Died 1774 in Manheim Twp., York Co., PA.13

May have been buried at Christ Reformed Cemetery which is 5 miles west of Hanover in Union Twp., Adams Co., PA. and near Littlestown, PA. [Christ Church was Evangelical and German Reformed] 14.

One of his descendants was named after the Ship Captain of the Louisa: John Stedman. The descendant's name was John Steadman Throne.15

In the German language the "h" is not pronounced. It is silent. "THRON" occurs in the German language and means "throne." When the Captain, probably of English extract, heard Peter pronounce the surname THRON, it probably sounded like "TRAN." The Captain may have written it as "TRAN" for this reason.
